Tasting notes, and where is this from ?

We had some ribs with this, which was a pretty good pairing. A small sip on pulling the cork revealed it was really tight and full of tannins (as expected). We gave it two hours before starting to drink, where I got some cassis and darker fruits and quite prominent acidity. Went well with the meal, but much better later on after another hour or two. The last glass at about 4 hours was so much smoother and well integrated, with integrated tannins and balanced acidity (where before the acid had really “poked” out). Notes of wood and rubber, but in a good way, with no fruit really prominent but kind of a nice balance of dried/fresh. I wish I’d popped the cork a few hours earlier. Pretty good for $CAD 24, but probably not enough to bother buying again.

Had one of these a few months ago. A similar experience on our end – definitely needed a while on air to calm down, but was just fun experience. Wouldn’t buy another for ourselves, but we’d get one to share with someone who hadn’t had Tannat before.
